Back in highschool, my good friend Josh Cho had a poster in his room of 100 things you should do in your life. One of those sayings that I remember clearly is to plant a tree on your birthday. That is easier said than done depending on your circumstances. I did not plant a tree on my birthday this year. There has got to be an easy way to plant a tree (in addition to downloading the Ecoviate app off course) and there is. And even better its absolutely free.There is a search engine called Ecosia that directs a large percentage of the money it receives from ads to plant trees. These trees are planted in Brazil and so far Ecosia has planted over 1 million trees! Over a million trees because of people like you and me searching the Internet. It works like Google because they use very similar algorithms. But Ecosia is just getting started; they have the goal of planting 1 billion trees by the year 2020 and I believe we can collectively help make this happen. So the next time you search the internet, use Ecosia.

If you would like to get involved with Ecosia you can contact me by tweeting @shravan157
